ARTICLE FURNITURE.

Application filed November 15, 1924. Serial No. 750,060.

Y 10 all fwtom z'z may concern.'

Be it known that I, PETER Dnirn'rnorou- Las, a citizen of the Kingdom ot Greece, who has declared his intention of becoming' a citizen ot' the United States, residing' at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Article of Furniture; and I do hereby declare that the follmving` is a tull, clear, and exact description or' the same, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals otl reference marked thereon, which form a part ot this spec'lication.

This invention relates to controlling;` nicchanism for alarm clocks and comprises means attached to the back ot' the clock and operable at a distance, for shittingv the alarm switch.

r)lie invention consists ot the nove structure and combinations hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and dciined in the appended claim.

In the accompanving` drawings which illustrateone embodiment ot this invention and in which similar reference numerals iter to similar features in the different views.

On the drawings:

Figure l is a 'liront elevational. view ot (he clock mounted upon a pedestal.

Figure 2 is a side elevational vic-w o t the clock and pedestal.

Figure 3 is a rear elevational view ci' clock per se.

As shown on the drawings:

In referring' to the drawing, it will be observed that the clocl; l may be ot any conventional type havingan alarm switch lever 2 projecting through a slot in the rear thereof. This clock is sustained upon an ornamental pedestal 8 having a circular intermediate shelf or table 4C and electric light bracket 5 so that the lights will be located upon opposite sides of the clock.

It is frequently desirable to shut oli.' the alarm in such a clock from a sitting or inclining' position. It might be desirable to shut oit' the alarm or set the same when a person is in bed. Accordingly I have devised means for controlling` the alarm from a short distance.

In referring;` to Figure 8, it will be observed that I have pivotcd an operating,` lever (l intermediate its ends upon the` back o'j the clock. This lever has a vertical arm 7 which is attached to the switch lever Q tor controlling` the alarm. A cable S is attached to each end of the lever o. By pulling upon the proper cable the alarm will be shut ott, and by pulling' upon the other cable, the alarm may be set to ring.

I am aware that numerous details ot coustruction may be varied through u wide range without depart-ing from the principles ot this invention. and l therefore do not purpose limiting the patent lgranted hereou, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

In a device of the character described, an alarm clock. a support therefor.y :in alarm switch in said clock. an operated lever pivoted upon the back ot the clock and having a vertical arm attached lo said switch lever and oplnisitel)v disposed horizontal arms, and cables attached to the ends ot said horizontal arms for shitting said operated lever to routrol the' position of said switch lever.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto sul)- scribed my name.
